The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Is your Java session setting CCSID to the correct value?
This is not a terminal emulation session; nether is it a Java Toolbox or
JDBC connection. This is a proprietary protocol that predates the
Toolbox, and passes the raw record (as returned by _Rreadk, _Rreadd, and
so forth, in the C runtime) to the Java client for processing.
At any rate, I have more information since the original post:
It seems that the old ThinView Swing client (from which the recalcitrant
programs were derived) has no trouble at all displaying the Chinese
characters properly, so long as either (a) I select one of the Java
symbolic font names (e.g., "Dialog"), or (b) I run it on my Macintosh.
This suggests that it is indeed a matter of font rendering, and that the
presence (implicit on the Mac) or absence (on the WinDoze XP box, unless
it's explicitly installed) of "East Asian Language Support" is also a
factor: the Firefox browser can render Chinese Unicode without requiring
such support, and the Swing UI classes can do so if the Java "logical
fonts" are used.
Unfortunately I don't know enough about the org.eclipse.swt UI classes
to do anything about this myself.
